289791 2004-11-09 14:16:00 Does anyone know how you stop Word and Excel from turning any webpage or email you type into a hyperlink?
Actually I don't mind if they are hyperlinks or not, I just don't want them to change format (ie to blue and underlines). I wan't them to just stay with the same style as the rest of the text.

Any ideas.

289792 2004-11-09 19:02:00 To turn off the automatic creation of hyperlinks in Word 97 or Word 2000:


To turn off hyperlinking .
Choose Tools > AutoCorrect from the menu . The AutoCorrect dialog box will open .

Select the AutoFormat as You Type Tab .

In the Replace as You Type frame, deselect Internet and Network Paths with Hyperlinks .

Click on OK .

289796 2004-11-09 21:44:00 For a one-off fix, just right-click the link and select Remove Hyperlink Greg S (201)
289797 2004-11-10 06:10:00 OK these solutions worked for Word but it is not one of the options in Excel (Excel 2000 as least). Excel only has the one 'AutoCorrect' tab under tools/AutoCorrect.

Still looking for how to turn them off permanently in Excel - although the right click/hyperlink/remove hyperlink does work is Excel for a once off.
